Felix Inden

About Felix

Felix Inden is a photographer specialized in landscape photography based near Köln (Cologne) in Germany. In the early days of his photography journey he realized that nothing inspires him as much as those short-lived moments in the field where mother nature shows all her splendour. These ephemeral moments of light, often born during times of wild weather are what he chases around the globe, focusing especially on the northern and southern end of the planet.

Felix calls is work “immersive landscape photography”, as he tries to bring the viewer on a visual journey to places and moments that are transitory and ephemeral.

Through the last decade, his work has been published worldwide across big print and online publications, used in campaigns by global brands and he has built an engaged following across social media with this entertaining way of presenting unique landscape imagery with a touch of humour.

Laura Oppelt

About Laura

Laura Oppelt is a 24-year-old, self-taught landscape photographer from Bavaria, Germany. At the age of 14 she made her first experiences with photography that later became her biggest passion. She is mainly drawn to wild and raw destinations such as Norway, the Faroe Islands or the Alps. Through landscape photography she expresses her appreciation for nature and adventure, always seeking for bracing perspectives and unique light situations.

For Laura, both the photography work in the field and the post processing play an important role in her worklflow. The final editing allows to create an image as a vision of how she experienced the scene in the outdoors. Still, the genuine process of exploring and travelling is her main motivation.

In her young photography career Laura already worked with some well-known brands such as BenQ, Olympus or PhotoPills. Currently she studies Geography at the University of Bonn, Germany.
